Linky Followers and Other Great Stuff

Hello - If you are visiting from Design Sponge or this is your first time checking out Lovely Etc, you might want to start by checking out my project gallery to see my favorite DIY projects.

I do not have a project to share today but I do have three announcements that make me really happy.

One.
I'll start with my favorite - my painted floors were featured on DesignSponge!  Woo to the Hoo!  I feel so honored to be a tiny part of such an inspiring site.

Two.
Lovely Etc. has finally joined Facebook - yay!  You can check it out by clicking the Facebook icon on the sidebar or just click right here.

Three.
Many of you have probably already heard about the great new way to follow your favorite blogs - Linky Followers.  Linky Followers is free, easy, and has lots of cool features (which I am still discovering). You do not have to have your own blog to follow others using Linky Followers.

(For those of you wondering why another tool is needed, Google Friend Connect is being discontinued for blogs hosted using WordPress at the end of February.  There are also rumors that it may be discontinued altogether in the near future. So while I will still be using GFC here on Lovely Etc., I wanted to give another option as well.)

*Note:  I was participating in the Linky Blog Hop, but for some reason, it was causing my sidebar to move to the bottom of the page.  I have temporarily taken the Blog Hop down.  If you know how to fix my sidebar issue, please let me know and I will put the Blog Hop back up.  Thanks.

Hey there. I'm following you on the Linky as well now. I know you follow me with GFC, but I'd love it if you would take a moment to swith over since I will be phasing GFC out.

Have a great weekend! Congrats on your floor making DS. Awesome!
